Diablo 1 and 2 had very nice graphics for their time.
Diablo 2...no it didn't, far from it. Max res of 800x600 and 2d sprites for graphics, in an age where Darkstone had already been released with a 3D engine. Since day one I've personally thought the Diablo 2's graphics sucked and the choice for a 2D engine when 3D most games had already gone 3D was a poor one. I still played it, and enjoyed it.
People bitched about Starcrafts graphics and the 800x600 fixed res. People bitched about Diablo 2 graphics for the use of a 2D engine and fixed 800x600 res. People bitched about Warcraft 3's graphics (2005) not being up to par with other RTS's and the cartoon style art direction, and stating it looked like a minor update to War2. Starcraft 2, people are saying the same thing, minor graphic update. World of Warcraft, they kept the cartoon style design and people complained. And now Diablo 3, as we all know already know people are complaining about the graphics for that too.
